ALESSON WITH A MORAL.


UTedt dthOAhk
The year 1886 played havoc with many
prominent men of our country.
Many of them died without warning,
passing away apparently in the full flush
of life.
Others were sick but com paratively
short time We turn to our files and are
astounded to find that me st Of them died
of apoplexy, OF paralysis, of nervous
prostrati0n, of malignant blood humor.
of Bright's DISEASE, of heart disease, of
kidney disease. of rheumatism or of
pneumonia.
| 1t is singular that most Of our promi
nent men die of these disorders. Any
| journalist who watches the telegraph re-
ports, will be gstOunded at the number of
prominent victims of these disord RS.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off SO many prom
iDent men in 1886, are really one disease,
| taking different names according TO the
location of the fatal effects.
When valuable horse petishes, it be-
comes the nine days talk of the sporting
world, and yet thousands of ordinary
horses are dying every day, their aggre-
gate loss is enormous, and vet their death
creates no comment.
So it ia with individuals. The c4us-
of death of prominent men creates come
mGnt, especially when it can be shown
that one unsupported disease carries off
most of them, and yet vast numbers Of
ordinary men and women die before their
time every year from the same cause"
1t is said if The blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia. rheu
matism and many eases Of consumption,
would never be known This uric acid,
we are told. is the waste OF the system,
and il is the duty OF lha kidneys 10 re-
move this waste.
We are told that il the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric,
kidney acid is kept out of the blood, and
these sudden and universal diseases caused
by uric acid will in large measure dis
appear.
But how shall this be douc2 1t is folly

that all the doctors Should be condemned
